What are you used too?

The Lord said so much destruction is coming onto the world. Will you be able to stand when this happens?

Isaiah 13:9 Behold, the day of the Lord is coming!—fierce, with wrath and raging anger—to make the land and the [whole] earth a desolation and to destroy out of it its sinners.

So many churches are not preparing their people. The churches are so used to NOT praying. If we are Christians and followers of Jesus Christ, should it not be NORMAL to be a praying church? Most Christians see the current Jews or Israel as secular Jews. But what does the world think of current Christians, secular Christians? Most of the churches are backwards and God is not with them. Yes, you may sometimes feel the Holy Spirit and anointing there because it is flowing through the sheep who are still following Jesus and not necessarily from the rebellious shepherds.

1 Samuel 4:21
She named the child Ichabod (which means “Where is the glory?”), for she said, “Israel’s glory is gone.” She named him this because the Ark of God had been captured and because her father-in-law and husband were dead.

Acknowledging Jesus is coming back is not a definition of being rapture ready. Reading prophecy after prophecy is not a definition of being rapture ready. In fact, most of such prophecy is bringing anxiety and torment to people as they feel unfit or worthy to be rapture. Will prophecy from God bring you continuous anxiety? God's word should bring conviction and peace. Most prophecy out in the internet is false. It is bringing worries and torment. Shouldn't God's messages bring conviction, repentance, peace, and Love? If prophecy is making you literally lose sleep, how is that from God? Abiding in HIM should bring confidence before His coming. If you continue to read false prophecy that brings you anxiety, you will shrink back. Be cautious of what you feed from. You are receiving those false spirits. Even false spirit or prophecy can confirm with one another as they move from people to people.

1 John 2:28 (AMP) And now, little children, abide (live, remain [a]permanently) in Him, so that when He is made visible, we may have and enjoy perfect confidence (boldness, assurance) and not be ashamed and shrink from Him at His coming.

You must Rest in HIM. To rest in HIM is to be abiding in HIM through worship, reading, and prayer. This is to be feeding from the source of Life. This is not to say prophecies out there are all wrong. But if you continue looking for the short cut rather than spending time with HIM and accumulating your prayers, like all short cuts in life, you will end up with the short end of the stick.

Will you have the faith to stand with your families when destruction and disaster comes? Most of us all know it is coming. But most of us do not realize we will have to go through much of it. Are you sure you have faith?

The people of God with Moses saw the Red Sea part. They received food from heaven. They received water from a split Rock. But Paul said most of them died in the wilderness because they did not have faith! Most of these people did not make it to heaven. They did not make it into God's rest.

Hebrews 4:2 For this good news—that God has prepared this rest—has been announced to us just as it was to them. But it did them no good because they didn’t share the faith of those who listened to God.[a] 3 For only we who believe can enter his rest. As for the others, God said,
“In my anger I took an oath:
‘They will never enter my place of rest,’”[b]
even though this rest has been ready since he made the world.

Have you seen the Red Sea part? Have you received food from heaven? Have you received water from a split Rock? But yet you say you have faith? The OT saints experienced God through supernatural experiences yet they had no faith.

Examine yourselves and see if you are in the faith. Time is running out. Why are so many spiritually sleeping in their comfort? Many will fall away when destruction comes. Many will deny and renounce HIM. Will you? How are we so sure when we stumble so much in our comfort?

2 Corinthians 13:5
Examine yourselves to see if your faith is genuine. Test yourselves. Surely you know that Jesus Christ is among you[a]; if not, you have failed the test of genuine faith.

  1. Hi Steve,

    A good article considering the times we are in.

    I agree that most prophecy from the internet is false. Even to 'natural' eyes it's plain to see that most prophecy contradicts other prophecy out there. In fact I've found it confusing as it's not easily determined what is true.

    However I would argue that anxiety causing prophecy is not necessarily false. Many true prophets of God prophesied terrible destruction including Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel. In fact, biblically it's pleasing prophecy that is likely false: Isa 30:9-14, Jer 5:31, Mat 24:11-12, 2 Tim 4:2-4.

    Because of the amount of contradicting prophecy, I prayed and asked Jesus what the truth was, and for the gift of discernment. He replied by speaking to my spirit, but what he said is not what I expected. He simply said, "Keep your eyes on Me". A bit later on the day He told said again, "Do not look to people, or to the world or on yourself [which is pride]. Keep your eyes firmly on Me".

    It is only by this we cannot be deceived.
